Group Accountant (Capital and Resources)

Working alongside the Service Manager and Group Accountant (Service Support) you will take a leading role in the management of the Council's financial services.

SAVINGS YES, COMPROMISE NO. Size is no barrier to ambition. Rushcliffe is a vibrant council committed to maintaining the excellent reputation of its services which has gained numerous accolades and awards, confirming our position as one of the leading district councils in this country. Our residents voted us the third best district area to live in the UK! We were also placed top for customer satisfaction and top for value for money. In 2009, we ranked as one of the top four district councils in the country.

However, we are very clear on one point – complacency is the enemy of success, and we are not complacent. Rushcliffe is committed to pushing boundaries and ensuring that we continue to provide high quality services requires excellent financial leadership, not least in these changing and challenging economic times. As a result, earlier this year we appointed an Executive Manager to head our new Resources and Efficiency service area. To complete this process we are now looking to recruit three experienced and committed senior managers who will form the core of this Management Team, ensuring that Rushcliffe maintains and grows its reputation for excellent services.
